Facial & Jaw Injury Compensation Claims In Queensland

When Facial & Jaw Injuries Change Everyday Life

A facial or jaw injury can make eating, speaking & even smiling painful. Because the injury is so visible, it can also shake your confidence long after the swelling goes down.

We’ll explain whether you may be able to claim and help you seek compensation for both the physical & emotional impact.

Why Us
Rin Kim Intro 1.jpg

Fractures Of The Face & Jaw

Broken cheekbones, eye sockets, noses & jaws often need specialist surgery & a long recovery.

We’ll work with maxillofacial & plastic surgeons to document the full extent of your injury.

Living With Visible Changes

Scars, asymmetry or other changes to your appearance can affect how you feel in public, at work & in relationships.

We’ll help ensure the emotional impact is recognised, not just the physical injury.

Dog Bites To The Face

Dog bites to the face are especially common in children & can leave lasting scars.

We’ll explain how the dog’s owner may be responsible.
